Quote by George Tenet
You know, at the end of the day, the only thing you have is trust

You know, at the end of the day, the only thing you have is trust and honor in this world. Thats all you have. All you have is your reputation built on trust and your personal honor. When you dont have that anymore, well, you know, there you go. Trust was broken. – George Tenet
